Ryan V. Fraser’s Criminal Defense Practice
Ryan brings a wealth of experience to his criminal defense practice at BKLW, representing clients facing a wide range of criminal charges in Los Angeles and throughout California. Ryan brings the strategic judgment of a former federal defender, deep trial experience, and proven appellate skill delivering thoughtful, discreet, and results-oriented advocacy at every stage of a case. His selection by Doyle’s Guide is a testament to the skill and dedication he brings to every matter he handles.
Ryan is experienced in defending against charges of various forms of fraud, public corruption, money laundering, and other serious white-collar offenses. His work in federal practice has led to dismissals, orders suppressing or excluding critical evidence, reversals on appeal, and substantial sentencing victories, often achieving results far below government recommendations.
After graduating from Berkeley Law and Georgetown University’s Walsh School of Foreign Service, he began his legal career clerking for a federal district judge before serving for six years as a trial attorney with the Federal Defenders of San Diego, where he also maintained an active appellate practice. Before law school, Ryan worked in investment banking in Germany.
